A rep for Ye confirmed to HipHopDX that his collaborative project with Ty Dolla $ign, Vultures, will now be released on January 12.

The album was previously pushed back to New Year’s Eve (December 31) after originally being scheduled for a December 15 release.
Coincidentally, Kid Cudi’s INSANO is also scheduled to arrive on January 12.

The news comes shortly after Kanye and Cudi squashed their beef at a listening party for Vultures in Las Vegas, where they were seen hugging it out.
Cudi even appears to be featured on the project on a track called “Gun to My Head,” which would mark their first collaboration since their joint album Kids See Ghosts in 2018.

While the pair have clashed in the past, their relationship all but broke down last year when Ye axed Cudi from his Donda 2 album due to his friendship with Pete Davidson, who was dating West’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian at the time.
The Lonely Stoner fired back on X (formerly Twitter), writing: “Too bad I don’t wanna be on ur album u fuckin dinosaur hahaha. Everyone knows I’ve been the best thing about ur albums since I met you. Ima pray for u brother.
“We talked weeks ago about this. You’re whack for flipping the script and posting this lie just for a look on the internet. You ain’t no friend. BYE.”
A few months later, Kid Cudi said that he’d no longer work with Kanye after the release of Pusha T‘s “Rock N Roll,” which featured both artists and was recorded prior to their falling out.

I am not cool w that man. He’s not my friend and I only cleared the song for Pusha cuz thats my guy,” he said. “This is the last song u will hear me on w Kanye.”
Kanye West signed Kid Cudi to his G.O.O.D. Music imprint in 2008 and the pair have collaborated numerous times over the years, including on “Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1,” “Welcome to Heartbreak” and “Gorgeous.”
